Cooking Steps
- Before starting, wash and dry all produce.
- Core, then cut peppers into 1/4-inch pieces.
- Using a strainer, rinse rice until water runs clear.
- To a medium pot, add rice, peppers, half the garlic puree, broth concentrate, 1 1/4 cups (2 1/2 cups) water, 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) butter and 1/2 tsp (1 tsp) salt. Season with pepper, then stir to combine. Cover and bring to a boil over high heat.
- Once boiling, reduce heat to low. Cover and cook for 15-18 min, until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed.
- Remove the pot from heat. Set aside, still covered.
- Cut tomato into 1/2 inch pieces.
- To a medium bowl, add beef, Shawarma Spice Blend, panko, half the remaining garlic puree and 1/4 tsp salt. Season with pepper, then combine.
- Form mixture into 6 (12) equal-sized, 1/2-inch-thick oval patties.
- Heat a large non-stick pan over medium.
- When the pan is hot, add 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil, then patties. (NOTE: Don't overcrowd the pan; cook koftas in 2 batches, using 1/2 tbsp oil per batch, if needed.) Pan-fry for 3-5 min, until golden and cooked through.**
- Meanwhile, heat a small pot over medium heat. Add cream cheese, feta, remaining garlic puree and 2 tbsp (4 tbsp) water.
- Warm mixture for 3-4 min, stirring often, until cream cheese melts and mixture reduces slightly. Season with salt and pepper.
- Remove from heat.
- To a large bowl, add vinegar, 1 1/2 tbsp (3 tbsp) oil and 1/4 tsp (1/2 tsp) sugar. Season with salt and pepper, then whisk to combine.
- Add spinach and tomatoes, then toss to combine.
- Divide pilaf and salad between plates.
- Top pilaf with koftas.
- Serve feta dip alongside.
